x = x − [ x ]
4 ( x − [ x ] ) = x + [ x ]
4 x − 4 [ x ] = x + [ x ]
3 x = 5 [ x ]
[ x ] x = 3 5
Now, [x] will always be an integer, so it has to be equal to 1 or 5y
Now, for [ x ] = 1 , x = 3 5
For [ x ] = 5 y , x = 3 2 5 y . But this is never possible, as we can easily see.
If x = 3 − 5 , then [ x ] = − 2 = − 1 .
The answer is correct. It is unclear how you arrived at the conclusion in line7.
Let x = I + f, where 0 < f < 1. Putting in the given equation we get 3f = 2I. Plugging integer values to I only I = 1 gives a valid f = 2/3. So the only x = 1 + (2/3) = 5/3.
write the equation as
=> 5 {x} = 2 x
plot the graphs of y=2*x and y=5 * {x}
we find out form the graphs that y=2* x cuts the graph y= 5* {x} at two points;
one being (0,0) and the other being somewhere between x=1 and x=2.
Thus we are now confirmed about two solutions.
To determine the 2nd solution; we write the equation as
=> 3/2 * {x} = [x];
as the 2nd solution lies between x=1 and x=2; [x] has to be equal to 1
therefore {x}=2/3;
thus x= [x] + {x} = 1+ 2/3 = 5/3 =m/n......................[the other solution being 0]
hence m+n=8

x = x + [ x ]
Thus, the equation becomes 3 { x } = 2 [ x ]
Now, 0 ≤ 3 { x } < 3 ⇒ 0 ≤ 2 [ x ] < 3 ⇒ 0 ≤ [ x ] < 1 . 5
Since [ x ] is an integer, it can take up values 0 , 1
Plugging into the equation, we get x = 0 , 3 5
Therefore, m + n = 5 + 3 = 8
